If someone can just think up the perfectly witty slogan and sign, the whole unfunded scheme of luxurious pension and health benefits for middle-class white people of average skill and intelligence can be salvaged.

Do any of these people realize that Walker could have gutted this budget as much as he wanted to, just by the stroke of his pen? They should be thanking their lucky stars Walker only required them to contribute just over 5% to their pension and 12% of their health care. Walker could have - and some say should have - pushed for more.

The fact that he allowed some 50+ changes to the bill that he DIDNT want and still signed the bill is something Im sure a figure in the mold of Hitler would have done.

I also like all of the signs that they could have "crapped a better bill", yet none of them could tell you how to pay for it. Except simply raising taxes.

They have zero idea about the content of the bills being passed or proposed, about economics, about the consequences of their own actions, about anything.....anything at all. Just a bunch of parrots squawking soundbites without any critical thinking.

I just noticed in the corner of one of the pictures that a lady is holding a "Thank you Wisconsin 14" sign.

I would like to walk up and ask her exactly what they did or what they stopped. Walker still got everything he wanted. Every. Single. Thing. And in the end, the 3 Dems that are getting recalled are probably all going to lose.

Come on, everyone. Sure it's easy to make fun of the shoulda-been-a-baker tubby women, the ZZ Top impersonators, the horrible artwork, unimaginative slogans, union stoogery, the dearth of minority representation, and the fact that today's union solidarity movement is populated by middle class public sector workers, but is that really gratifying? Does any good come from pointing out these obvious particulars?

And a thought on the Green Eggs and Ham placard: Didn't he read the story? Sam I Am ends up trying the green eggs and ham and loves them. Is that guy's point that Wisconsin should give the budget bill a chance because they may end up loving it? And then declaring their love for it in a house and with a mouse?

A better literary allusion would be the Butter Battle Book by the same author. Who will drop theirs first?

These posters remind me of being in high school and participating in "spirit day" rallies.

All the really cool kids, the in crowd...you know...the cheerleaders, spirit leaders (who weren't quite cool enough to actually be cheerleaders), some of the jocks who mostly only wanted to bang the cheerleaders, would all get together and on the gym floor make signs to taunt the rival football team.

Oooh... big horse's butts, funny puns and silly caricatures. Make fun of the other team's mascot.

Meanwhile the nerds are trying to either join in, unsuccessfully, or are planning to make computers that will take over the world.

"Solidarity"? I wonder how many foreign or non-union made cars are in the parking lot?

"I've never understood using horse's rear end as an insult."It's an old insult, from the days when a good part of the population (including most Americans ancestors) spent their work life looking at one.

"I'm here because Walker is a liar! What brings you here?""I'm here because he reminds me of long, flowing hair. And I hate him.""I'm here because I'm tired of endlessly reading children's books at home. I hate Walker too though.""I'm here because I couldn't wait to use 'Prosser-hold' and I heard there would be a protest here with signs. Walker sucks.""I'm here because I had this Lincoln quote, and it made me picture a skunk, and I hate Walker, so I pictured his head on it, and I needed to share that.""I'm just here to brag about my dogs."

I am sick to death of all the bullcrap. My local news out of Green Bay just had a 5 minute segment that consisted of letting some Dem recall candidates spew outrageous statements about Walker. Nothing of course refuting what they said. I used to say i respected teachers but not their union. I have now reached the point of not respecting teachers either. Good thing my kids are no longer in school.

Indeed the day Walker made teachers pay just over 5% to their pension and 12% of their health care will go down in the history books with the Triangle Shirtwiaist Fire and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle marking the depths of employer depravity

"What a world where taxpayers no longer pay 100% of public employees' pension and health care costs!"

I heard a caller on some talk radio show, I don't recall which show, and I don't remember what state they were in. Anyway, they were complaining that their medical costs were going up 350%. As a result, they would need to pay about twenty-five hundred a year for health care.

mugatroy.....how about hundreds of WEAC and other union employees going to the venue in Madison where Governor Palin is speaking, sticking their middle fingers up in the air, and chanting "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU".

That probably changed many minds about unions. Or when they boo'd the 14 year old girl.

Every time I see this stuff I think I must have a proxy-cached page from, what, 6 months ago? Or Althouse doing a "bump" of her greatest hits.

Doesn't anyone in Wisconsin have anything to do? This is really the same nonsense that has been going on for so many months? This is the most pathetic group of people I have ever heard of. "Get a life" doesn't even begin to cover it.

I felt less sorry for the Japanese soldiers they'd find during the 70's, hidden in the deep jungle of some forgotten island, still waiting for news of how the war was going.
